Jazz and Knicks discussing Donovan Mitchell trade per Shams Charania and Tony Jones

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Yes, so why should we keep Mitchell?

Because we want to maximize the return on trading him, and we can still figure out how to lose even with him on the roster. Look at OKC with SGA.

That team isn’t winning a championship with Donovan on a super max. That is a half *** retool I don’t even consider that a rebuild.

Not to mention we need to convince guys to leave amazing situations to come here... and Wiggins next deal if it is outside of GS will be a millstone.

You keep Donovan if the Knicks arent offering any unprotected picks because it's likely just a large package of role players and future role players.

Yup.

What if the Heat are offering 3 unprotected 1sts + 3 pick swaps + Herro + Jovic + a 4th 1st they got from a 3rd team?

Nah... but you go to the next best offers.

Is that offer not going to be there next year?

You don’t think another player of Mitchell’s caliber could come available for trade between now and then? Lillard or Beal?

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Jazz need to wait until the stress levels build in New York and Brooklyn. Jazz need to stay cool and calm and let the other situations come to a head.

Those guys are now both too old and too overpaid for a team to build with. Beal also just got a no-trade clause.

IDK, a lot of stuff could happen. Donovan could average like 30-8-5 this year and his value could even go up.

Utah has no reason to hurry this thing.

All I know is if the package is a lot of mid with no A+ assets, you can get that next year too.
